Hi, it's me still, needing help!

I never reach goal on my posts so I can't catch up and it's really stressing me out. I work endlessly it feels like, despite being exhausted and disabled. I keep canceling all my dr appts bc i just cant keep tryna deal with the mounting medical bills even with insurance and can't rly afford all my meds after the fact anyway.

My car is having issues, my battery is seemingly on it's last leg. I had to get a jump last week at work and I have 3 broken sensors. I desperately need work done on it and need to pay my car note.

The power company for my part of the state is out of control and doubling and tripling ppl's bills to the point we have a large scale group abt the corruption and a protest planned.

And good news, I am OUT OF THE DIABETIC RANGE! but I do still need to get fresh groceries and stuff bc I worked very very hard to get to where I am and need to maintain it!

My wife does have a new job tho now! Filled with more transphobic issues as is usual here in the deep south but for now she has to keep it while we try and stay afloat 😭

And yes im still working on doing nails for ppl, I got one order a few weeks ago that im abt to ship out! Im so excited! Please support black business if u can!!!

Between my car note, power bill, groceries, work on my car, meds, etc im aiming for $1325. Please help if u can.

TLDR: Black disabled lesbian and Trans lesbian wife struggling to catch up on bills 🖤

Here's where im at rn 😭😭😭

[calebauer]

don’t die wondering / transsexuality could be for you

[mousidy]

"afab only housing" is honestly beautiful. it's #progress to use inclusive language when discrimating against trans women

[mousidy]

you might as well just say "no men, and yeah I think men includes you trannies (but trans men aren't men you ladies are welcome 🥰)"

[butchnandos]

This is what "protecting single-sex spaces" actually implies, by the way.

When a US state legislature passes a bill like SB0468 in Tennessee, or the UK government uses the figleaf of a British Supreme Court ruling to ram through policies denoting spaces like shelters, prisons, and bathrooms as "single-sex", they make it a legal requirement that women's shelters cannot take in transgender women, often sentencing them to a choice of sexual violence or homelessness.

In prisons, this means trans women are to be forcibly assigned to male prisons with male cellmates, something that in the past has led to astronomical rates of sexual violence, often encouraged by prison authorities, or placed in solitary confinement, a practice whose long term usage is often equated to torture.

So the next time someone yaps about single sex spaces, remind them that what they are saying is that trans women in bad situations should be homeless or sexually assaulted.

[mousidy]

and this is what happens to those women in men's prisons

Hey. Heyhey. Do me a favor real quick.

If you don't already know you have issues doing so, squat down real quick. Bend your knees all the way and touch the floor. Just make sure you can do it. Okay? For me? And then stand up all the way and make sure you can balance on one foot.

Like. You don't need to blow it into some huge thing. Just. Make sure all your bits and peices still work the way you think they do.

[sea-salted-wolverine]

Can you turn your head to look behind you without twisting your shoulders? What about standing on your toes? If you sit down on the floor can you get back up without using your hands?

If there was ever a tumblr post worth sending to your mom, it's this one.

Just saying, bodies are a use it or lose it kinda thing.

[sea-salted-wolverine]

okay so every time I see this post crop back up in queues and notifications I end up thinking about it. Because I made the post and even I'm still doing the thing where I read the post about maintaining range of motion in my delicate meatsuit and I nod and hmm and think yeah that's a good idea and then dont move from where I'm curled up shrimp style staring at the nightmare rectangle.

So like. Thinking real hard about moving doesn't count as moving. Major bummer. Anyways. Joints.

[halondrus]

[cutecipher]

can you put that thing on a leash?

[halondrus]

ok

[Image ID: Threads post from joOutLoud reading: Until I was 16, I went by Joanna. Then I asked to be called Jo. Everyone adapted. Even my mom. At 22 I got married. Asked to be called by a new last name - Dumont. Everyone adapted. Asked to be called Ms. instead of Mrs. I was accommodated. Got divorced and changed my name back to Phillips. No push back.

We can adapt to someone's request to be called by a name they choose. Any argument against it is just plain bigotry. /End ID]

Cunt slaps are so fucking hot.

Rubbing my fat girl cock against a pups arching red cunt as I grimace and tell them it's not wet enough and they feel my hand slap against their sensitive throbbing pussy my hand comes away with sticky stands of pussy juice.

Their lips are puffy and I can see their cunt already glistening, they're definitely wet enough for me to fuck them silly and we both know it.... But I like playing with my toys a little bit more~

Bought my uncle a burger and milkshake in exchange for letting me disrupt the holiest day of the week, NFL Sunday Football, so I could install a Pi-hole and free the household of ads...the thing abt the specific boomers I live with is they told me not to trust people on the Internet but they do not understand the algorithm or online advertising and think that Facebook has their best interests at heart. And every time I have tried to explain to them that no, blorbo from my dashboard is not selling my kidneys on the dark web but Google from your capitalism is definitely selling your web searches to every advertising company on the planet, they think I am paranoid. How could their personal friend Mark Zuckerberg want anything bad to happen to them etc. I am fighting battles I did not know existed!!!

[walk-up-songs]

Update I have had Pi-Hole successfully installed for two (2) hours and have since learned that 40% of the web traffic in this household went to advertisements. FORTY FUCKING PERCENT. We live in hell. This is the greatest gift I have ever given my family that they will not understand or acknowledge or feel any gratitude for.

[walk-up-songs]

Update #2: it was rising all night but the number it finally settled on was...60%. 60% of the web traffic in this household went to advertisements. I can't tell if this high number is bc I live in Silicon Valley and probably am subject to the Algorithmic Internet in ways people outside of Silicon Valley are not or it is normal to have 2/3rds of your web traffic be ads, but it did make me set up a recurring donation of the EFF lmfao.

[walk-up-songs]

Okay I have had multiple people ask, so here are the useful websites that me and Beryl used to muddle our way through:

Using Pi-hole and Raspberry Pi (on the Raspberry Pi website, really good overview of what Pi-hole does)

Tumblr-archived Twitter thread about one household's experience with Pi-hole (this is what sold me on it. Also the tweets were published in 2022 and Pi-hole is actively being developed, so I think some of the teething problems he mentioned might have cleared up or are at least being addressed.)

Pi-hole website (gives broad strokes of the software and imho is not actually that helpful, however this proves that I am not making shit up)

Pi-hole documentation (read prerequisites carefully, you do NOT need the newest model of Raspberry Pi to run this thing!! You don't even need a Raspberry Pi at all, you can run it on a bunch of Linux systems however I'm very stupid when it comes to Linux and when my options are install and learn a whole ass new OS or spend $$ on a Raspberry Pi and hook it up to my TV with a wired mouse and keyboard I will unfortunately be spending money)

Privacy International's guide to setting up Pi-hole on a Raspberry Pi (bro this one saved our asses)

You guys can ask me questions if you want but I guarantee I will not know the answers bc I don't know shit about fuck, I just followed the directions and reaped the rewards. It did take us 2 hours to set up bc I'm bad at following directions (and it's kind of complicated if you've been out of the software game for a while like I have), and you do have to be sososo brave about fucking around with your internet provider's configuration. So make sure you eat before you do it!! However it has been so worth it for me so far, given that now all my devices at home are running faster and I'm not seeing any ads while web browsing. We will see what complaints my family comes up with, but I love it so far.

Also!! if you've never heard of Raspberry Pi, which I realize are not all of my followers are lost in the Silicon Valley sauce so you might not have, here's is their website and their page for using Raspberry Pi at home.

(And here is the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a nonprofit that fights for digital privacy, free speech, and innovation, if you, like me, were presented with cold hard data about your personal internet usage and suddenly realized that our internet is fully a dystopia. haha.)

After a few months with pi-hole, I recently switched to AdGuard Home. It was recommended/is co-promoted in a pi-hole discord server, and it seems to be blocking a bit more successfully/consistently for me than the pi-hole did.

I also use Blokada on my phone when I'm not home and have the Windscribe browser extension which includes 10GB of free VPN traffic and has uBlock integrated into it. (AdGuard does technically make things that do this but I like those better; ymmv).

It all takes some setup and tinkering, but I highly, highly recommend taking steps to clear out some of the internet garbage and protect your info.

[mephistopheles]

yall i swear to god if a bitch says her pronouns are she/her then her pronouns are she/her

[mephistopheles]

my close friend from uni was a cis girl who had the audacity to wear pants and cut her hair short and like nobody at this school, a place OBSESSED with ‘respecting everyone’s gender identities,’ would call her ‘she.’ after MONTHS of this she started wearing a fucking pronoun pin to work and i dont even think that fixed it. me, im sorta androgynous; i have shaggy self-cut hair and go by a neutral name, but i always say my pronouns are she/her, and people ive worked with for months and have introduced myself in front of fifty times will STILL reflexively say ‘they’ for me. i respect the progressive circles i run in, but this IS evidence of misogyny. people’s definition of “woman” or “girl” is so narrow and high-maintenance that even the tiniest deviation from the norm gets you forcibly defeminized. but it’s a compliment, right? like who would wanna be a girl anyway?

[mephistopheles]

replacing an inescapable gender binary with an equally-inescapable gender trinary is stupid 🩷

I wish there was a painkiller except for brain fog. Like when your head is full of gunk you could just take a pill with a glass of water and lie down for 15 minutes and your head would be cleared just like that.

petition to relabel "strong sense of justice" in autism and adhd to "strong personal convictions"

[tlirsgender]

When you're queer but especially when you're trans you cannot care about The Law. Be smart about what you say & where obviously, but when it's illegal to live, you have to do it anyway. Get a foot into your local community in-person and you'll find there's more being done than what they post about online. Now the tricky thing is keeping your mouth shut about it but trust me ok

[tlirsgender]

Like idk. It's important that you know there Are people doing real tangible activism even in states where it's getting Really Bad. Now I'm gonna keep my mouth shut ok? Trust me

[uncle-fruity]

That's why you can't judge whether someone is doing productive activism or not solely on their online presence. There's a lot of causes that I care deeply about and am involved in, but I don't post about them or talk about the things I know some folks are doing about them, because that would put me and them in danger. And that's even for some above-the-board (legal) stuff.

We live in a dangerous world with powerful governments that absolutely will try to punish their political enemies & critics when they get too loud. You don't have to prove yourself to your online communities in lieu of your safety. And if someone is trying to get you to be louder about the stuff that could get you into trouble, that person either isn't serious about activism or is extremely uneducated about safety measures within activist spaces. Never post anything online that you aren't prepared to explain or defend to law enforcement.

Be smart, stay safe.

Horror games don't work on me because I'm too gamer pilled. I'm not thinking about how scary the monster is I'm thinking about how to analyze and counter its attack patterns. I'm detecting strategies. I'm thinking about accomplishing my objective and beating the level. That zombie is just a goomba with a different skin to me. It's all just wireframes and hitboxes in my mind

[demilypyro]

me when the monster inevitably grabs my character and yells in the camera, spit flying everywhere: you are functionally a cutscene, you can do nothing to affect me, hurry the fuck up and get back to gameplay so I can kite you around a table or something
